Quote:For once, you and I pretty much agree about a lot of things.  As an example, the first bold part of your quoted post is what I've been trying to express now for a while.  Trump/Sanders supporters think that if their guy wins, all of the things that you listed (in the case of Trump) will happen.  In the case of Sanders supporters, they think that they will instantly get their "free stuff".  In my opinion, both campaigns are pretty much "Hope and Change v2.0".  It's all about what their supporters want to hear rather than a realistic vision for how they will lead the country.

 

Regarding the second part in bold of your comment, that is very much true up to the point that is underlined.  Donald Trump is not really part of the Republican Party, and doesn't really stand for traditional republican/conservative views.  Really, he is a democrat running as a republican.  He's not running because his core belief is "making America great again", he is running for the prestige that goes along with the title.  It's all about him, not the country.

 

I agree with you that yes, he has fractured the GOP, but where I disagree with you is that his "own party" is trying to take him down.  That's not the case at all.  I really do believe that the remaining GOP candidates really care about the country and want to actually SERVE the country and do what is best for all.



 

I do think that eventually Trump will go down and end up running as an independent.  I do acknowledge and believe that the right wing (GOP) will not allow him to "represent" their interests.  The same can be said about the left.  Hillary is going to be the nominee, whether or not Bernie Sanders continues to win states.  The "Super Delegates" will assure that.

 

It's going to get ugly, especially after tomorrow.

 

I've made it no secret that I have liked and supported Marco Rubio throughout this campaign.  I have also stated that Ted Cruz was a strong second choice of mine.  At this point, I would even back John Kasich as the representative for my party.  If the polling is correct and Rubio doesn't do well tomorrow, then my full support is behind Ted Cruz and/or John Kasich.  If it comes down to a Trump vs. Hillary or Trump vs. Bernie Sanders Presidential election, I probably for the first time will not vote because it would be the downfall of our country as I know it.
